Corporate history

Higashimoto Kikai Co., Ltd is founded in 1969 as a manufacturer for meat processing machinery at Ichibu Ikoma Nara Japan. In 1971, two years later of the foundation, our company was reorganized and Higashimoto Kikai Co., Ltd was born.

The new factory, estimated 30,000㎡, was built in 1991 at Yamazoe Nara. The area around the new factory was called "Yamato Plateau." For the founder, constructing the new factory and office surrounded by plenty of greenery was a desire in the history of a company. The new factory has latest machines and builds up consistent manufacturing capability from designing to after-sales service. On the other hand, we've actively tried to have technical cooperation with Germany and the United States. As a result, we build up the system that we can offer the total system planning with giving each strong point and We've developed all-round manufacturer of food processing machinery.

Overseas Network

No company produces all types of machines in our market. A few companies compete with one another. Among the manufacturers, Higashimoto Kikai has almost all processing machines. At times, we cross swords with many world competitors as equals and at other times, we've cooperated with each other to improve our skills. On the other hand, we gave away our small machine to meat laboratory in Ohio State University in the United States. We've contributed to raising international technical level.

We consider technical cooperation and communication with worldwide manufacturers, international view and information network as an important fortune.
These experiences and knowledge from Germany and Sweden have made it possible to produce our environmental-related equipment and welfare-related equipment.
